So what vehicle is the best 2 person sport vehicle

[oldcub]

I think you are correct that the Max is not for the average person, however on my 45 acres of pure South Jersey swamp, nothing will match it's performance, unless one feels their machine will traverse up to 3ft of water for long stretches without some water damage. The last mechanized units that were on my property were D4 Cats hauling out cedar logs in 1920. It does tear up the soil when turning, but our dirt is pure sand so it heals quickly. Folks have a blast when taken for a swamp "tour", instead of the same continual dry land circles, especially when pushing over one inch saplings when making "new" trails. It is a mechanical conglomeration of chains, gears and adjusters, changing the oil requires an oil extractor, and I am continually vacuming the debris out of the hull to prevent the engine from igniting it. I had to buy a small tire changer and learn to change my own tires after the local bike dealer chunked the bead on a tire by using a strong arm pneumatic tire changer on a bead lock rim. I discovered a ten year old kid could change a tire with little effort if they used the right technique. So you are right in that a dealer network is desirable, unless one is mechanicaly reclined.. Since Recreatives has been in business all these years, I always wondered just who is buying these amphibians. As for me, it is a work and fun rig and fits the bill perfectly. At my age, I am contemplating building a camoflage cover and just parking it near a deer trail when I cannot climb trees in deer season.

I had this discussion with the guys at our local shop; I think the carry Polaris. Nice stuff.

But... For what one cost, ATV or RTV, you could get a used Jeep for less and be able to do everything you described. They're not much bigger than an ATV or RTV that would carry two people. You can easily carry two people, fishing and hunting gear, fence repair stuff ect. After running Rubicon, and riding some of the big ATV's too, there aint many places they can go that a Jeep can't... Or an old Samuri, Toyota Land-Crusher ext...

I've had 4 CJ series Jeeps, and 2 Land Cruisers. Oh yeah, the RTV and especially the Rhino will go places the venerable old Jeeps can't begin to travel. I won't go down the Polaris road, I now have 3 friends with pieces of their Polaris units littering that road. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I will assure you i go places ain't no jeep or samuri going unless we run a dozer or skidder through there first!

I have even questioned whether i will get a rhino or rtv in some places! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

But i can have a little chain saw time and make it happen but not enough for a jeep!
